Leave No Trace Achievement Award

This Award has been DISCONTINUED

The Leave No Trace Achievement Award is worn on the uniform
shirt,
centered on the right pocket as a TEMPORARY patch.
Only ONE Temporary patch may be worn at a time.

The requirements shown below were effective
from January 1, 2008 until the award was discontinued in 2013.

NOTE: Although the award was discontinued in
2013, the requirements were mistakenly left in the 2014 and 2015
editions of Boy Scout Requirements,
and not replaced with the Outdoor Ethics Awareness and Action Awards.

Recite and explain in your own words the principles of Leave No Trace, and discuss how an ethical guideline differs from a rule.

On each of the three camping trips in Scout requirement 2, discuss with your troop or team the impact problems
encountered and the methods the unit used to eliminate or at least minimize those impacts.

Read chapters 7 through 10 (Leaving No Trace), chapter 27
(Understanding Nature), and chapter 34 (Being Good Stewards of Our Resources) in the
BSA Fieldbook. Share with another adult leader what you learned.

Actively assist (train, advise, and supervise) a Scout/Venturer
in planning, organizing, and leading a service project that reduces or rehabilitates recreational impacts.

Assist at least three Scouts/Venturers in earning the Leave No Trace
Awareness Award.

Teach a Leave No Trace-related skill to a Scouting unit or other interested group.
